As the days leading up to the gameplay teaser get increasingly scarce the topic of music has risen again. We’ve talked about music a bit on this blog before the release of the debut trailer. I thought I’d reiterate and expand on those thoughts. Read more

Things are progressing nicely and we’ve submitted Reset to Steam Greenlight. It is in the concept category, since the game is not ready enough to be submitted to the actual game category. So voting for the game doesn’t count towards getting Reset Greenlit yet.

As stated before, the gameplay premiere teaser is scheduled to be released October 28th and we’ll be starting the crowd funding campaign at the same time.

Hello friends. From the deep dungeons of creation we crawl back to the surface only to inform that the gameplay premiere will be delayed some more. We were aiming to release gameplay stuff next week before my paternity leave kicks in, but despite working night and day, even skipping all social contacts, we’re not happy with it yet. This is life folks.

So the next couple of months will be dedicated to kids and the development of Reset will continue slowly in the background. The step away from the project will probably be good also, gives us time to clear our heads and eyes and most of all, play games!

Ok so we’re about to dive into the last phase of proofing the gameplay and preparing the crowd funding campaign. We will focus on those solely, so the next post we update will be the gameplay trailer and campaign start \o/. We still have a lot to do but it’s so close we can almost taste the crunch (pun intended).

To make the wait a lot harder here are some wallpapers from the first trailer.

Ok so, first the bad news. We’re not ready to show game play stuff yet. It’s taking longer than expected and since it’s a key part in the upcoming crowd funding campaign, we’re putting a lot of effort into it. But the good news is that that we can distract you with pretty pictures

Oh you weren’t distracted… bummer. Anyway, besides the gameplay, people have been asking us about our volumetric lighting and atmosphere. So we’re going to cover that topic right now.

Update posts too few and too far apart, brain and and hands jammed in a creation position… and and I’m out of coffee. Oh and it’s finally snowing outside. Definitely calls for a bit of philosophy… and a hammer. And more coffee.

But more on that later. First things first: status report. Construction of the actual game world has begun \o/. We finally migrated to our production scene structure, that is final enough to begin using as a creation tool. The animation system and related gameplay stuff is proceeding nicely, or as we like to say “slowly but uncertainly.” The game’s puzzles involve a lot of physics and tweaking them is tedious work as we have to and want to experiment. Work continues fiercely on all fronts and the end of the year is closing fast.

Which brings us nicely to the topic at hand; The Art of Progress Updates.
